    Eighty drivers face license loss and heavy fines over mobile phone use

    What I found interesting about this article was that in SA. the Gov. imposes a levy of $102 for the victims of crime coffers. GREAT IDEA.... we have a process here in NSW where the Gov. has a 'slush fund' which is available for victims to make a claim. A few years back a mate of mine made a...

    When 'manners' were handed out and taught, she was hiding behind the door and said 'no don't need or use them'.

    Is your car too loud? New 'noise cameras' might catch you in the act!

    Great more legislation for NSW, and more hits to the pockets just because of a minority group of hoons. Ms Douglas of Kyeemagh stated that 'they' are sick of hoons racing, burn-outs, hot laps etc in 'her suburb'. I wonder if she went to the local Police station and had a meeting with the local...
